CVE-2006-5579

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6

Description: A remote code execution issue exists due to attempts to access previously freed memory when handling script errors in certain situations. An attacker could exploit this by constructing a specially crafted Web page. If a user viewed the Web page, it could allow remote code execution, potentially giving an attacker complete control of an affected system.

Recommendations: For Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6, consider avoiding the use of JavaScript on untrusted web pages until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to web pages that may exploit this issue to minimize the risk of exploitation.
